Ditto.  I get the feeling that Usenet is not being transmitted back to
GEnie.  This effectively makes the GEnie articles the equivalent of
annoying crosstalk on telephone lines.  If the connection is not
bi-directional it is not very good.

I applaud the efforts of the person who's doing this -- your intentions
are obviously good.  Please send me e-mail telling me who you are?  Thanks.
